Our September Fly-in is going to be Taumarunui Airport!
Friday Night Fly-Ins are designed to bring the experience of a General Aviation fly-in to VATSIM. While we can't simulate the fun that fly-in's provide once you arrive, we can certainly provide the fun experience of actually flying in.
These events will be moving around airports in NZ and could be Controlled and Un-controlled airports but the flying is primarly focused on VFR flying.
Fly-in time is scheduled for 8:30pm NZ time, (0830 UTC) so plan to arrive at Taumarunui around then.
Located in the Manawatu-Whanganui region, Taumarunui (NZTM) is a small aerodrome located just to the north of it's township. It operates of a single 1250m long grass 01/19 runway.
Taumarunui is a fairly quite airport with no major permanent activity beyond a few aircraft hangars.
Lots of short hops available here. You could hop down from Te Kuiti (NZTT) or over from New Plymouth (NZNP) for example. Longer trips could include places such as Hamilton (NZHN) or Palmerston North (NZPM)
After arriving, be sure to stick around to watch and listen to the other traffic coming in and out for the airport for the event, then why not pick a different airport to depart to and enjoy the fantastic scenery the area has to offer.
